A wakeboarding and extreme-sports complex on the Desenka river, described as the place where Ukrainian wakeboarding began, with cable lines running until about 19:30 in autumn.
X-Park describes itself on xpark.kyiv.ua as a wakeboarding and extreme sports complex on the banks of the Desenka River, about 20 minutes' drive from central Kyiv, and the site carries a notice that cable lines run until 19:30 because of shorter daylight. The notice is undated, so 2026 operation is not confirmed. Cable wakeboarding suits beginners because a cable tows the rider rather than a boat, and instruction and equipment hire are typical. The exact street address and current price list should be taken from the operator's website, along with any martial-law changes to hours. Sessions stop during air-raid alerts.
